Having visited the historical sites of Rotterdam’s gabber culture, Boris Postma presents a photo installation that calls upon the changing character of Rotterdam and its gabber scene. Places which once functioned as a pilgrimage for gabbers, now seem desolate and alienating. Combined with the aesthetic of torn down poster- and flyer walls Postma draws on the discrepancy that defined gabber culture, being both rough and sinister, and warm and inviting.

After having sturred up the quiet community of Beetsterzwaag in the summer of 2016, Kunsthuis SYB reunites the Gabber Nation collective of artists for a presentation at Intersections Art Rotterdam. Henrike Naumann, Ekaterina Burlyga, Johannes Büttner, Bastian Hagedorn, Tea Palmelund, Boris Postma and Merle Vorwald will delve into the gabber scene of Rotterdam and present new works in Gabber Nation 2.0.

Moving from the rural to the urban, Gabber Nation 2.0 takes as point of departure the birthplace of gabber: Rotterdam. In the early 1990’s the city of pounding construction sites and harbor activity seemed to inspire the beat of hardcore music. This radical electronic music style soon took over the Rotterdam party scene, with raves being held in legendary venues like the Energiehal and club Parkzicht. For Gabber Nation 2.0 the artists immersed themselves into the gabber scene of Rotterdam, creating new works that appeal to its rich history and its meaning today.

Very happy to be featured in the latest edition of Berlin based Groundmagazine by Ismael Ogando, right next to photography entity Nan Golding, alongside Princes Nokiaand a selection of amazing photographers and artists. Read 'the early issue' here.

I was invited to show my work during Soirée Graphique No. 9 in Bern last September, this is an exhibition organised by Komet and curated by Roland Zeger on the theme of contemporary graphic design and photography.

Last summer I was part of the Gabber Nation exhibition in Kunsthuis Syb as invited by Henrike Naumann. In Gabber Nation we explored the Gabber subculture in the rural parts of the Netherlands, Friesland to be more precise. Some of the themes explored were the subject of teenage angst, the urge for destruction in all of us and the apocalyptic prophecy of Hardcore rave music.

Another one to cross of the bucket list. Twenty years ago I secretly read Thunder Magazine when mum wasn't looking, today I can proudly share with you how I contributed to it's latest incarnation, a new interview with Victor Feenstra - VF Artwork. Go get yours in the February edition of DJ Mag NL / DJ Mag.

This Memento invited me to with Nike Europe about the subculture side of the Nike Air Max consumer circle and how to use this during the yearly Nike Air Max day. We talked about music and the influence of subcultures on brand representation. As a thank you I got this pair of customised Nike Air Max 2015. Thx for the invitation guys!
